Well last night my math was seriously off. I was making ground turkey meatloaf. I measured out all of the other ingredients thinking (or not thinking) I had five pounds of ground turkey. WRONG! Once I had it mixed together,it was kind of soft/mushy, then is when I realized I didn't have enough turkey. Needless to say it still worked out just fine.
You would think with turkey I would want a white wine. There are no wine rules in the house. Mike picked out a Four Vines Martinelli Vineyard 2007 Zinfandel. It was yummy. Four Vines is one of our favorite wines from Paso Robles.
Here is the write up from the bottle:
Nonna Martinelli planted her vineyard in 1932. The 75-year-old, head-pruned, dry-farmed vines have survived fires, drought, and hard times. In the end two things always remained; Nonna's food and one of the best Zinfandel vineyards in Paso. The vines produce small quantities of bright and intense fruit. The wine was aged in French and American Oak for 14 months. Thanks Nonna...
I wanted something for dessert. What could we have? Ahha... exceptional, tasty, organic dark chocolate and a glass of Four Vines 2001 Zinfandel Port. Talk about yummy, this was a great dessert and hit the spot. It has just a splash of Petite Sirah, is aged in French oak barrels for twenty months.
This was a good end to a foggy, uneventful weekend. Thank you Four Vines.
Ciao!
